I think it's done. Finally. My eyes are killing me. I just KNOW someone is going to start nit-picking. All I can say is.....BRING IT. I've got a Wacom and a lot of time to avoid writing papers. I'll take your complaints, fix em, and laugh! So NYAH.

For those of you who haven't been following, I sketched it out in pencil [seen in scraps], then gradually painted over it in Photoshop, making design changes as I went.

Now all I need to worry about is a better background..

*Deep breath*

Well, basically it was a concept I had years ago. My Craftworld was heavily industrial in nature and liked to use really big machines to fight with. They came up what was then known as a CeKaran [God-Tower], a large Wraith unit to slowly phase out the need for the larger [and less effective] Titans. Course at the time, the concept was a NG Evangelion unit with a Wraithlord head [I was stupider and easily impressed then].

The new CeKaran [aka Wraithknights] were designed by sheer chance while I was designing a new Revanent. I had slapped around multiple head designs on a single page, and several of them joined together into a thin but graceful skeletal structure shape I found pleasing, which after some work I turned into the Advocate.

Afterwards, I decided the Wraithknights would need a support variant that could not only be capable be tearing big holes in Titan armor, but also strengthen the link between it and the smaller Wraithguard.While sketching out the concepts, I noted how curiously similar the head was to a bird's. So I thought it would be amusing to draw the new design in a more dynamic pose that would play on that illusion.

And....well, there you go.
